How? By continuing to incur projected deficits through 2012 that are LARGER than any of those incurred during the Bush administration (including 2008 - Year of the Bailout).
Another day, more lies, more hypocrisy.

==========================
Obama's ego and arrogance would likely lead him to believe that he is more popular in China than is Yao.

That sentence doesn't make sense. The structure suggests that no concrete agreements was a surprise, even though the goal was "simply to launch the dialogue." I take it the interns wrote this one.

Have to agree with you jhw. To me it seems almost like they've fabricated a criticism. Intentionally or otherwise.

But the Dems have put all their eggs in one basket.
All their hopes and dreams all depend on a hyped up celebrity.
Without him they have nothing.
They say the GOP is the party of "no".
So tax and spend is something new?
Exactly how is Obama a different kind of politician?
